WEST COAST BANCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) for interim financial information.  In addition, this report has been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and therefore, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West Coast Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, West Coast Bank (the “Bank”), West Coast Trust, and Totten, Inc., after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.  Bancorp established itself as a financial holding company in September 2005 to have more flexibility in the products and services it provides through its subsidiaries.  Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to current classifications.  The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes contained in Bancorp’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2004 10-K”).

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial information contained in this report reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005, or other future periods.

          Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  At September 30, 2005, Bancorp had multiple stock option plans, including a stock incentive plan under which both restricted stock and stock options are presently being granted.  Bancorp recognizes compensation expense for restricted stock granted.  Bancorp accounts for its stock option and stock plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted in the periods presented. All options granted under our stock option plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

          New Accounting Pronouncements.  In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”).  This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  This statement requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  In addition, this statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions.  This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25.  In addition, this statement amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, to require that excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.  The impact on our financial statements from future stock option grants is unknown until such grants have been made.

          The effective date of the standard under these new rules for our consolidated financial statements is January 1, 2006 and management is assessing the impact of adopting SFAS 123R on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The adoption of SFAS 123R will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as we will be required to expense the fair value of our stock option grants rather than disclose the impact on our consolidated net income within the footnotes, as is the Company’s current practice.

2.       INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

          The composition and carrying value of Bancorp’s investment portfolio is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Investments available for sale (At fair value)
U.S. Government agency securities	$	89,740	$	82,362

Equity and other securities		15,188		13,611
Total Investment Portfolio	$	274,344	$	266,262

          The following table provides information on investment securities with 12 month or greater continuous unrealized losses as of September 30, 2005:

(Dollars in thousands)	Amortized cost of securities with an unrealized loss for more than 12 months		Fair value of securities with an unrealized loss for more than 12 months			Unrealized Gross Losses
U.S. Government agency securities	$	3,577	$	3,483	$	(94	)
Mortgage-backed securities		24,608		24,218	$	(390	)
Obligations of state and political subdivisions		2,671		2,576		(95	)
Equity and other securities		6,289		6,226		(63	)
Total	$	37,145	$	36,503	$	(642	)

          The following table provides information on securities which have an unrealized loss and have been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months as of September 30, 2005:

(Dollars in thousands)	Amortized cost of securities with an unrealized loss for less than 12 months		Fair value of securities with an unrealized loss for less than 12 months		Unrealized Gross Losses
U.S. Government agency securities	$	71,989	$	71,539	$	(450	)
Mortgage-backed securities		42,912		42,444		(468	)
Obligations of state and political subdivisions		11,454		11,363		(91	)
Equity and other securities		9,111		9,015		(96	)
Total	$	135,466	$	134,361	$	(1,105	)

          At September 30, 2005, the Company had 21 investment securities with an unrealized loss of $.6 million that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.  There were a total of 73 securities in the investment portfolio with a total unrealized loss of $1.7 million at September 30, 2005. The unrealized loss on our investment securities portfolio was substantially due to an increase in interest rates subsequent to their purchase. The fair value of these securities fluctuates as market interest rates change.  The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until the value recovers.  Based on management’s evaluation and intent, none of the unrealized losses summarized in these tables are considered other-than-temporary.  In addition to accounting and regulatory guidance, in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, Bancorp regularly considers the duration and amount of the unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the prospects for a change in market value within a reasonable period of time.

          At March 31, 2005, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of approximately $1.3 million, pretax or $803,000, after tax, or $.05 per fully diluted share, related to declines in the value of Freddie Mac preferred stock held in the Company’s available for sale investment portfolio. The Company owns 100,000 shares of Freddie Mac Preferred Series “L” stock that were acquired November 5, 1999, at a cost of $5,000,000, which was also the book value of these securities as of March 31, 2005, prior to the impairment charge. The market value of the securities as of that date was $3,684,000, and $3,655,000 as of September 30, 2005.  The rate at which interest accrues on these shares resets every five years, most recently on December 31, 2004. The current interest rate of 3.58% is fixed until December 31, 2009, at which time it will reset to the 5 year treasury rate. The shares may be called at each reset date.

4.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

          Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if certain shares issuable upon exercise of options and non-vested restricted stock were included.  For the periods reported, Bancorp had no reconciling items between net income and income available to common stockholders.

The following tables reconcile the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

	Net Income		Weighted Average Shares		Per Share Amount

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to those statements that appear under the heading “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Bancorp’s 2004 10-K.

Forward Looking Statement Disclosure. 

          Statements in this Quarterly Report regarding future events or performance are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) and are made pursuant to the safe harbors of the PSLRA.  Actual results of West Coast Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) could be quite different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Any statements that expressly or implicitly predict future results, performance, or events should be considered forward-looking.  Factors that could cause results to differ from forward-looking statements include, among others, risks discussed in the text of this report and Bancorp’s 2004 10-K as well as the following specific items:

• General economic conditions, whether national or regional, that could affect the demand for loans or lead to increased loan losses;

• Competitive factors, including increased competition with community, regional, and national financial institutions, that may lead to pricing pressures that reduce yields Bancorp achieves on loans and increase rates Bancorp pays on deposits, loss of Bancorp’s most valued customers, defection of key employees or groups of employees, or other losses;

• Increasing or decreasing interest rate environments, including the shape and level of the yield curve, that could lead to decreases in net interest margin, lower net interest and fee income, including lower gains on sales of loans, and changes in the value of Bancorp’s investment securities;

• Changing business or regulatory conditions, or new legislation, affecting the financial services industry that could lead to increased costs, changes in the competitive balance among financial institutions, or revisions to our strategic focus;

• Changes in government funding of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans that could negatively affect an important source of loans for Bancorp;

• Changes or failures in technology or increases in required investments in technology that could increase our costs or lead to disruptions in our business; and

• Changing customer deposit, investment, and borrowing behaviors.

          Furthermore, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to: attract and retain lending officers and other key personnel; close loans in the pipeline; generate loan and deposit balances at projected spreads; sustain fee generation and gains on sales of loans; maintain asset quality; control the level of net charge-offs; generate retail investments; control expense growth; monitor and manage the Company’s financial reporting, operating and disclosure control environments, and other matters.

          Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of the statement.  Bancorp does not intend to publicly revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.  Readers should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Critical Accounting Policies. 

          Critical accounting policies and estimates relating to our allowance for loan loss are discussed in our 2004 10-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies.”  That discussion highlights estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change.  There have not been any material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates relating to our allowance for loan loss as compared to that contained in our disclosure in the Company’s 2004 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Income Statement Overview

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

          Net Income.  Bancorp’s net income was $6.7 million, or $.44 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $5.7 million, or $.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  This represents an 18.9% increase in earnings per diluted share from the same quarter in 2004.  Our return on equity for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was 17.4% and 16.0%, respectively.

          Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $17.4 million or $1.13 per diluted share compared to $16.2 million or $1.04 per diluted share for the same period last year. 

          In addition to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, management is reporting core earnings below.  Core earnings, core earnings per diluted share, and core return on average equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived by adjusting the Company’s GAAP earnings (I) for the third quarter 2005 to exclude the beneficial impact of the State corporate income tax credit in the third quarter 2005 of approximately $.3 million or $.02 per diluted share and (II) for the first nine months of 2005, to exclude the positive effects of the tax credit, as well as the negative impact of a first quarter impairment charge of approximately $.8 million or $.05 per diluted share. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally and has disclosed it to investors based on its belief that the disclosure provides additional, valuable information relating to financial results derived from its operations as compared to prior periods.

          Bancorp’s core earnings were $6.44 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2005, compared to third quarter 2004 earnings of $5.71 million or $.37 per diluted share, representing a 14% increase in core earnings per diluted share. 

          Bancorp’s core earnings were $17.9 million or $1.17 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to earnings of $16.2 million or $1.04 per diluted share for the same period in 2004. 

          The following table reconciles net income to core earnings, including per-share and return on equity figures:

          Net Interest Income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $22.6 million, compared with $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. Higher loan balances outstanding, augmented by improved earning asset and deposit mixes, contributed to the higher net interest income.  Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increased $7.6 million to $64.3 million from $56.6 million for the same period in 2004.  

          The following table presents information regarding yields on interest-earning assets, expense on interest-bearing liabilities, and net interest margin on average interest-earning assets for the periods indicated on a tax equivalent basis:

(1)	Interest earned on nontaxable securities has been computed on a 35% tax equivalent basis.
Ratios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 have been annualized where appropriate.

          Analysis of Net Interest Income. Net interest income, including a $.36 million adjustment to a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2005, increased 17.4% to $22.6 million from $19.3 million, including a $.41 million adjustment to a tax equivalent basis for the same period in 2004.  Growth in average loan and deposit balances of 14% and 11%, respectively, from third quarter of 2004, augmented by improved earning asset and deposit mixes, contributed to the higher net interest  income. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2005 expanded to 5.05% from 4.70% in the third quarter of 2004, mainly due to a shift in earning asset mix towards loans, higher loan fees, higher value of non-interest bearing demand deposits from rising short-term interest rates as well as lower borrowing costs.  Average yields on earning assets increased 79 basis points to 6.59% in the third quarter of 2005 from 5.80% in the third quarter of 2004.  Average interest earning assets increased $146 million, or 9.0%, to $1.78 billion in the third quarter of 2005 from $1.63 billion for the same period in 2004.  Third quarter 2005 average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 65 basis points to 2.14%, from 1.49% for the same period in 2004.  The net interest spread increased from 4.31% in the third quarter of 2004 to 4.45% in the third quarter of 2005. 

          Changing interest rate environments, including the shape and level of the yield curve, could lead to lower net interest income, and competitive pricing pressure could lead to lower loan yields and fees.

          Provision for Loan Loss. Bancorp recorded provisions for loan losses for the third quarters of 2005 and 2004 of $.4 million and $.2 million respectively. The increase in the provision was primarily due to an increase in net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same quarter last year.  Net charge offs for the third quarter of 2005 were $.6 million, compared to a net recovery of $73,000 for the same period in 2004.  Annualized net charge offs for the third quarter 2005 were 0.15% of average loans, up from annualized net recoveries of 0.02% in the same period last year. 

          The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1.2 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2004, a reduction in part caused by lower net charge offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 at $.5 million compared to $.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

          The provision for loan loss is recorded to bring the allowance for loan losses to an amount considered appropriate by management based on factors which are described in the “Loan Portfolio and Credit Management” and “Allowance for Loan Losses” sections of this report.  The provision for loan loss is highly dependent on our ability to manage asset quality and control the level of net charge-offs through prudent credit underwriting standards.  In addition, a decline in general economic conditions could increase future provisions for loan loss.

          Noninterest Income. Total non-interest income was $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of nearly 8% compared to $5.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.  The increase in non-interest income can be attributed to strong growth in payment system revenues of $.3 million or 30%, which includes debit card, interchange and merchant bankcard revenues.  Moreover, trust and investment services revenue increased nearly 18% or $.2 million over the third quarter of 2004, while deposit service charge revenues were up $.4 million or 20% over the same period last year.    

          Total non-interest income was $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $17.0 million for the same period in 2004.  The decrease in non-interest income can be primarily attributed to the impairment charge of $1.3 million pre-tax related to our investment in certain Freddie Mac preferred stock.  Gains on sales of loans declined $.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to lower residential loan production volume.  This decrease was more than offset by strong growth in trust revenue and payment systems related revenues.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased 11%, or $.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to same period in 2004. 

          Changing interest rate environments, including the shape and level of the yield curve, could lead to decreases in fee income, including lower gains on sales of loans and reduced deposit service charges, two key components of our noninterest income.  Also, increased competition and other competitive factors could adversely affect our ability to sustain fee generation from the sales of investment products and payment systems related revenue. 

          Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $18.4 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 14% compared to $16.1 million for the same period in 2004.  Salary and benefit expense increased $1.3 million with the majority of the increase resulting from new lending and branch team members in late 2004 and increased variable compensation.  Marketing expenses increased $.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period last year due to marketing expense associated with the totally free checking product in the Oregon market.  Other non-interest expense increased in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to increased check processing charges, loan origination expense, tax credit expense and losses on the disposition of fixed assets.

          Total non-interest expense was $53.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $46.6 million for the same period in 2004.  Salary and benefit expense increased $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 resulting from new lending and branch team members in late 2004 and increased variable compensation.  Occupancy expense increased $.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to additional branches and increases in rental rates.  Strong growth in payment systems volumes increased payment system expense by 16% year to date in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  Professional fee expenses grew $.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to increased legal and accounting expenses, particularly in the first quarter of 2005.  Marketing expenses increased $.9 million in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to increased marketing costs associated with the free checking product in the Oregon market in 2005. 

          Income taxes.  The provision for income taxes increased in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, from the like periods in 2004, primarily due to an increase in income before taxes partly offset by the beneficial impact of a State corporate income tax credit of $.3 million. Bancorp’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 decreased slightly to 29.8% from 30.1% for the same period in 2004, primarily due to the State corporate income tax credit.

Balance Sheet Overview

          Period end total assets increased to $1.93 billion as of September 30, 2005 from $1.79 billion at December 31, 2004.  Our balance sheet growth has reflected our efforts in targeted areas that support our corporate objectives, including small business and middle market commercial lending, construction and home equity lending, as well as core deposit production.

Investment Portfolio

          The investment portfolio at September 30, 2005, increased $8.1 million compared to December 31, 2004.  At September 30, 2005, total investment securities available for sale had pre-tax net unrealized losses of $0.2 million.  The composition and carrying value of Bancorp’s investment portfolio is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Investments available for sale (At fair value)
U.S. Government agency securities	$	89,740	$	82,362
Corporate securities		19,775		18,029
Mortgage-backed securities		81,886		81,354
Obligations of state and political subdivisions		67,755		70,906
Equity and other securities		15,188		13,611
Total Investment Portfolio	$	274,344	$	266,262

          At March 31, 2005, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of approximately $803,000, after tax, or $.05 per fully diluted share, related to declines in the value of Freddie Mac preferred stock held in the Company’s available for sale investment portfolio. The Company owns 100,000 shares of Freddie Mac Preferred Series “L” stock that were acquired November 5, 1999, at a cost of $5,000,000, which was also the book value of these securities as of March 31, 2005, prior to the impairment charge. The market value of the securities as of that date was $3,684,000, and $3,655,000 as of September 30, 2005.  The rate at which interest accrues on these shares resets every five years, most recently on December 31, 2004. The current interest rate of 3.58% is fixed until December 31, 2009, at which time it will reset to the 5 year treasury rate. The shares may be called at each reset date.

Loan Portfolio and Credit Management

          Interest and fees earned on the loan portfolio is our primary source of revenue.  Loans represented 78% of total assets, or $1.52 billion as of September 30, 2005, compared to 80% or $1.43 billion at December 31, 2004. A certain degree of credit risk is inherent in our lending activities. The Company manages the general risks inherent in the loan portfolio by following loan policies and underwriting practices designed to result in prudent lending activities.  In addition, we attempt to manage our risk through our credit administration and credit review functions, which are designed to help ensure compliance with our credit standards.  Through the credit review function the Company is able to monitor all credit-related policies and practices on a post approval basis, ensuring uniform application.  The findings of these reviews are communicated with senior management and the Loan, Investment, and Asset/Liability Committee, which is made up of certain directors.  As part of our ongoing lending process, internal risk ratings are assigned to each Commercial and Commercial Real Estate credit before the funds are extended to the customer. Credit risk ratings are based on apparent credit worthiness of the borrower at the time the loan is made.  Large balance accounts have the credit risk rating reviewed on at least an annual basis.  Credit files are examined periodically on a sample test basis, by internal and external auditors, as well as regulatory examiners.

          Although a risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, certain specific types of risks are associated with different types of loans.  As a result of the nature of our customer base and the growth experienced in the market areas served, real estate is frequently a material component of collateral for the Company’s loans.  The expected source of repayment of these loans is generally the cash flow of the project, operations of the borrower’s business, or personal income. Risks associated with real estate loans include decreasing land values, material increases in interest rates, deterioration in local economic conditions, changes in tax policies, and a concentration of loans within any one area.

- 19 -

          As part of our strategic efforts, we have placed an emphasis on increasing the commercial and home equity loan segments of our portfolio.  Our strategy has resulted in the loan portfolio being more interest rate sensitive, contributing to the elimination of the liability interest rate sensitive position of the overall balance sheet a few years back, as well as more diversified from a credit risk perspective.  Commercial loans now represent 25% of the loan portfolio, compared to 16% at December 31, 2000, while commercial real estate loans have declined from 58% to less than 47% of the loan portfolio over the same time period.  We believe our focus on commercial businesses is a key contributor to increasing low cost deposits.

          The composition of Bancorp’s loan portfolio is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2005						December 31, 2004
	Amount			Percent			Amount			Percent
Commercial	$	374,054			24.7	%	$	357,776			25.1	%

Total loans, net	$	1,497,012					$	1,409,023

          The change in the composition of Bancorp’s loan portfolio, with increases in the percentage of loans that fall into commercial and real estate mortgage (home equity) categories, reflects the strategic focus of the Company.

          The composition of commercial real estate loan types based on collateral is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2005					December 31, 2004

Total real estate commercial loans	$	707,000		100	%	$	704,400		100	%

          Approximately 39% of Bancorp’s commercial real estate loan portfolio is classified as owner occupied.  Bancorp’s underwriting of commercial real estate loans is conservative with loan to value ratios generally not exceeding 75% and debt service coverage ratios generally at 120% or better.

          As of September 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding loans to persons serving as directors, officers, principal stockholders and their related interests.  These loans, when made, are substantially on the same terms, including interest rates, maturities and collateral, as comparable loans made to other customers of the Company.  At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Bancorp had no bankers acceptances.

- 20 -

Nonperforming Assets

          Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned, and loans past due more than 90 days.  Interest income on loans is accrued daily on the principal balance outstanding.  Generally, no interest is accrued on loans when factors indicate collection of interest or principal is doubtful or when the principal or interest payment becomes 90 days past due.  Nonaccrual loans decreased $.2 million to $1.6 million at September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004.  The current nonaccrual loan balances are primarily a mix of commercial and commercial real estate secured loans.  For nonaccrual loans, previously accrued but uncollected interest is charged against current earnings and income is only recognized to the extent payments are subsequently received.

          Nonperforming assets consist of the following:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2005			December 31, 2004
Loans on nonaccrual status	$	1,568		$	1,803
Loans past due greater than 90 days not on nonaccrual status		—			—
Other real estate owned		98			384
Total nonperforming assets	$	1,666		$	2,187
Non-performing loans to total loans		0.10	%		0.13	%
Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans		1258	%		1052	%
Non-performing assets to total assets		0.09	%		0.12	%
Allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets		1184	%		867	%

          At September 30, 2005, non-performing assets were $1.7 million or 0.09% of total assets, down from $4.9 million or 0.28% one year earlier.  Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.30% at September 30, 2005, down from 1.47% at September 30, 2004.

Allowance for Loan Losses

          Please see the Company’s 2004 10-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Loan Loss Allowance and Provision” for a discussion of Bancorp’s methodologies underlying the calculation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

          At September 30, 2005, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $19.7 million, consisting of a $17.4 million formula allowance, a $1.0 million specific allowance, and a $1.3 million unallocated allowance.  At December 31, 2004, our allowance for loan losses was $19.0 million, consisting of a $17.3 million formula allowance, a $.3 million specific allowance, and a $1.4 million unallocated allowance.  The changes in the allocation of the allowance for loan losses in the first nine months of 2005 were due primarily to changes in the loan portfolio and its mix, changes in the risk grading of our loans, and charge-offs as well as recovery activity.  In addition, net overdraft losses are included in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses per the guidance provided by regulatory authorities earlier in 2005, “Joint Guidance on Overdraft Protection Programs.”

          At September 30, 2005, Bancorp’s allowance for loan loss was 1.30% of total loans, and 1258% of total nonperforming loans, compared with an allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2004 of 1.33% of total loans, and 1052% of total nonperforming loans, respectively.

          Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows for the year to date September 30, 2005, and full year ended 2004, respectively:

(Dollars in thousands)	Nine months ended September 30, 2005			Year ended December 31, 2004
Loans outstanding at end of period	$	1,516,740		$	1,427,994
Average loans outstanding during the period	$	1,462,751		$	1,301,447
Allowance for loan losses, beginning of period	$	18,971		$	18,131
Loans charged off:
Commercial		(572	)		(1,149	)
Real Estate		(1	)		(527	)
Installment and consumer		(396	)		(698	)
Overdraft		(243	)		—
Total loans charged off		(1,212	)		(2,374	)
Recoveries:
Commercial		359			438
Real Estate		106			340
Installment and consumer		229			176
Overdraft		50			—
Total recoveries		744			954
Net loans recovered (charged off)		(468	)		(1,420	)
Provision for loan losses		1,225			2,260
Allowance for loan losses, end of period	$	19,728		$	18,971
Ratio of net loans charged off to average loans outstanding year to date (1)		0.04	%		0.11	%

(1)  The ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, has been annualized.

          During the first nine months of 2005, net loan charge offs were $.5 million, compared to $.8 million in charge offs for the same period in 2004. The annualized percentage of net loans charged off year to date to average loans outstanding was 0.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 0.09% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Charged off loans reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the provision for loan losses.

Deposits and Borrowings

          The following table summarizes the quarterly average amount of, and the average interest rate paid on, each of the deposit and borrowing categories for the periods shown.

	Third Quarter 2005					Third Quarter 2004
(Dollars in thousands)	Quarterly Average Balance		Rate Paid			Quarterly Average Balance		Rate Paid
Demand	$	442,922		—		$	372,280		—
Savings, money market and interest bearing demand		790,375		1.39	%		736,897		0.43	%
Certificates of deposit		373,197		2.98	%		341,330		2.25	%
Short-term borrowings		1,277		3.97	%		10,782		1.41	%
Long-term borrowings (1)		111,500		4.62	%		113,946		6.07	%
Total deposits and borrowings	$	1,719,271		2.14	%	$	1,575,235		1.49	%

(1)  Long-term borrowings include junior subordinated debentures.

          Quarterly average core deposits, consisting of demand, savings, money market, and interest bearing demand deposits, increased 11% or $124 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  Our deposits increase was mainly due to the combination of more marketing towards low cost deposit categories and improved sales practices by the branches and commercial teams resulting in both consumer and business deposit growth.

          Third quarter average time deposits increased $32 million or 9% in 2005 compared to 2004, as higher market interest rates increased demand for time deposits.  The Company believes interest bearing deposits such as money market and time deposits can be generated with competitive interest rate pricing of such deposits.

          Long-term borrowing rates have declined as a result of refinancings of higher rate borrowings over the last 12 months as well as new borrowings replacing maturing borrowings at lower rates.

          Capital Resources

          The Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) have established minimum requirements for capital adequacy for bank holding companies and member banks.  The requirements address both risk-based capital and leveraged capital.  The regulatory agencies may establish higher minimum requirements if, for example, a corporation has previously received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest rate risk.  The FRB and FDIC risk-based capital guidelines require banks and bank holding companies to have a ratio of tier one capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 4%, and a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8% or greater.  In addition, the leverage ratio of tier one capital to total assets less intangibles is required to be at least 3%.  As of September 30, 2005, Bancorp and the Bank are considered “Well Capitalized” under the regulatory risk based capital guidelines.

          The following table summarizes the consolidated risk based capital ratios of Bancorp and the Bank at September 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004.

- 24 -

          Stockholders’ equity increased to $155.0 million at September 30, 2005, up from $147.9 million at December 31, 2004.  The increase was due to net income, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises, including tax benefits associated with those option exercises, offset in part by Bancorp’s activity in its corporate stock repurchase program, dividends to shareholders and unrealized losses on investment securities.

          In July 2000, Bancorp announced a corporate stock repurchase program that was expanded in September 2000, September 2001, September 2002, and again in April 2004.  Under this plan, the Company can buy up to 3.88 million shares of the Company’s common stock, including completed purchases.  The Company anticipates using existing funds, future net income, and/or long-term borrowings to finance future repurchases. During the first nine months of 2005, and consistent with its capital plan, the Company repurchased approximately 381,400 shares, or approximately 3% of its common shares pursuant to its corporate stock repurchase program.  Total shares available for repurchase under this plan were 455,000 at September 30, 2005. 

          The following table presents information with respect to Bancorp’s stock repurchases.

          Please also see discussion of stock repurchase activity during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, under Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

          The Company’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, maturities of investment securities, sales of “Available for Sale” securities, loan sales, loan repayments, net income, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), and the use of Federal Funds markets.  The holding company specifically relies on dividends from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities to fund dividends to stockholders and stock repurchases.

          Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and unscheduled loan prepayments are not.  Deposit inflows and unscheduled loan prepayments are influenced by general interest rate levels, interest rates available on other investments, competition, economic conditions, and other factors.

          Deposits are the primary source of new funds.  Total deposits were $1.64 billion at September 30, 2005, up from $1.47 billion at December 31, 2004.  While brokered deposits may be used in the future, we have none outstanding at September 30, 2005.  We attempt to attract deposits in our market areas through competitive pricing and delivery of quality products. 

          At September 30, 2005, four wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by Bancorp had issued $26 million of pooled trust preferred securities.  For a further discussion of the amount and terms of the pooled trust preferred securities, see Bancorp’s 2004 10-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Liquidity and Sources of Funds.”

          Management expects to continue relying on customer deposits, cash flow from investment securities, sales of “Available for Sale” securities, loan sales, loan repayments, net income, Federal Funds markets, advances from the FHLB, and other borrowings to provide liquidity.  Management may also consider engaging in further offerings of trust preferred securities if the opportunity presents an attractive means of raising funds in the future.  Although deposit balances at times have shown historical growth, such balances may be influenced by changes in the financial services industry, interest rates available on other investments, general economic conditions, competition, customer management of cash resources and other factors.  Borrowings may be used on a short-term and long-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds.  Borrowings may also be used on a long-term basis to support expanded lending activities and to match maturities, duration, or repricing intervals of assets.  The sources of such funds may include, but are not limited to, Federal Funds purchased, reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings from the FHLB.

          Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.  Our management has evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that  information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

          No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
